And furthermore, "bare" YouTube experience (what type of stuff they promote on their front page when it's not customized by my recommendations - basically what I see when I'm not logged in) is truly nauseating to me.

I actually like the YouTube recommendation system. It manages to pleasantly surprise me pretty often. I don't have significant privacy concerns about it - the stuff I enjoy on YT is quite aligned with my public persona, so to speak. I&

This has been my experience with RN too (admittedly, a few years back). So much time wasted on troubleshooting random glitches that occur for seemingly unrelated reason. Some minor library version update? Boom, your breakpoints no longer wo

I think that on "bare" Win 11 you press Win+Z, and you see a selection of a few possible layouts that you can click and choose

It is essentially the same thing, with FancyZones only adding the ability to enhance default presets with custom layouts - am I wrong?

I quite liked Launchy and I can recommend it. This being said, it's inexplicable to me why this particular feature isn't supported on Windows out of the box. The nearest equivalent (search feature in the Start menu) is pretty bad.

Your point makes sense, but it wasn't the official explanation.

To me Google Inbox was the best incarnation of an email client ever (both the mobile and web app). They have quite inexplicably pulled the plug on it though.

Why is it only rated 2.9 on Play Store? The negative reviews look quite articulate, it doesn't seem like coordinated manipulation.

I do agree knowing the commands isn't something to be sidestepped, but frankly I find it difficult to create a mental image of several related branches without a visual aid. I envy people to whom it comes easy, but I'd rather save

Well, I think there are quite a few popular chess channels that people watch without actually thinking it's going to improve their chess level. (It's actually typical of watching sports). Eg. Botez sisters (who aren't even pa

To me the effect occurs - to some extent - with regard to which language I speak.

Do they? Not necessarily. That's quite a generalisation. I get the humour, it's just not my cup of tea.

If anything, I'd expect that the audience would nown have more of a hit-and-miss experience than 20 years ago - with the abundance of streaming services at your fingertips, it's much easier to binge watch movies just because, wher

I understand this is (probably) a tongue-in-cheek comment, but the "My" prefix was infantile and terrible for scanning the alphabetically ordered list of folders ("My Documents", "My Music", "My Whatever&q

Dogs have lived alongside humans for millennia. They're genetically engineered animals (in the oldschool way - by breeding and selection, not in a test tube). And we've bred them largely by rewarding their ability to interact with

The typical source of confusion is conflating "free" with "unpredictable". But they're not the same thing at all.

I do the same thing. The CV is typically made available to me a couple of days before the interview, and I usually take a look at it the day before. Obviously I can't really know how carefully it gets scanned before they decide to arra

These two aren't mutually exclusive. Tickets, however, have lower long-term survivability (in my experience). Outsourcing, migrations, there are many scenarios in which the original tickets become inaccessible over time - and some code

Chess is very addictive, and certainly endless. Same with cardgames. I'm sure your government bureau would quite grow fast, coming up with ever more warning labels.

Agreed. I'm all for inclusivity, but everybody knows (by and large) what a one's "dark side" means, and that it has nothing to do with ethnicity (which is what the GP is hinting at).. Viewers don't assume Dexter&#x2
